RIP Dolly Parton. While we debate plagiarism or academic politics, she bought books for kids. She did more to get people to think than many of us will ever do.
Everyone should watch my friend Joe Sharkey at @joesgreatbooks on the Nolan film of the Odyssey. Joe is nuanced, opinionated and thoughtful (I don't agree with all his views, but he got me thinking). And, see all his podcasts on this classic of literature! youtube.com/watch?v=xxnFeWnX…
For those of you who missed it when it first came out, a reminder of my novel, Three Kings. It's been newly revised, based on my reading it out loud to my daughter Vivienne. It's available on your local Amazon site. Enjoy!

I gave a talk at our university about how to disagree (only three minutes long as part of our graduation ceremony). I'm at 1:40 minutes on this video (unless you want to see 120 students graduating!): youtube.com/watch?v=5SVBboYA…

Goosebumps! People often ask, is Shakespeare still relevant? Here is a great example, from the Steven Colbert Show, in which Sir Ian McKellen delivers an extraordinary speech. Shakespeare’s words are timeless, urgent and important.

Check out my friend, @joesgreatbooks and I talking about Narnia. Beware academics that you don't become like Uncle Andrew!
Joe's Great Books 18: The Magician's Nephew--"Narnia, Awake!" with Tony Lang is out: youtu.be/-MlIc9DaTlQ In the Beginning was the Song—but even before that, Jadis Makes Earth Great Again.

If, in this increasingly realpolitischer world, you are still interested in morality in International Relations, check out a forum on my 2024 @CambridgeUP book

Huge thanks to @chrisjbrown1 @jamespattison @CorneliaABaciu Kamilla Stullerova at @AberUni and Dan Brunstetter for their thoughtful critiques
In celebration of Black Friday, consider getting this for your friends and family! If you buy it, it means more money for me to spend on my kids for Christmas. So, good for you and good for me!

Because I don't have a blue tick, I'm not sure how many people this will reach. But, my son, Henry, is climbing Mt Kilimanjaro to give to Amensty International. If you want to support him, go to this site and dig deep! justgiving.com/fundraising/u…
Some of you may know that I not only write about International Relations but also write fiction. Well, my first fiction book is now on sale (fantasy book, JRR Tokien and CS Lewis inspired)! Please consider buying it either in paperback or Kindle! amazon.co.uk/dp/B0FPNJ8S8W?r…
